Women's 50 Plus Multi
Highland Laboratories
Overview
Highland Laboratories Women's 50 Plus Multi offers a broad range of vitamins and minerals. While it provides a good dose of Vitamin D, many other essential components, particularly Calcium and Magnesium, are significantly underdosed for the target demographic of women over 50. The listed dosages of several B vitamins appear to be highly inaccurate (likely a unit error) which makes it impossible to accurately assess their contribution. Specialized botanical extracts are also included at amounts likely too low to provide clinically significant benefits.
The Good
Comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals to support general health.
Contains a good dosage of Vitamin D (1000 IU) which is beneficial for bone health and immune function in older women.
Includes Folic Acid (400 mcg) and Vitamin B12 (120 mcg - if unit is µg) which are important for red blood cell formation and neurological health.
The Bad
High doses of certain B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid) in mg units are likely a misprint on the label, making accurate dosage assessment difficult and raising concerns about potential over-supplementation if these were accurate.
Low doses of Calcium and Magnesium (50mg each) are unlikely to provide significant bone or overall mineral support, especially for women over 50, who typically require higher amounts.
The dosage for Biotin (50 mcg) is very low and unlikely to deliver any noticeable benefits for hair, skin, or nails, and may not even meet the RDI for some individuals.
